Roadside Waiting in Mauritania

This photo was taken on the way home from Nouakchott, Mauritania after a training session at the Peace Corps headquarters. It was about 120 degrees and we had been waiting for hours for the car to fill up. Typically in this 8 seat car, we would fit at least 10 people inside not including baggage and the occasional goat. Overall, a tough day of travel to get back to site.
